Bethesda Softworks and inXile Entertainment have announced a brand new third-person co-op fantasy action title today.
Hunted: The Demon’s Forge is a fantasy title set in the corrupted dark ages. Creatures have risen and townsfolk are disappearing. It’s up to the player to travel deep within the work of Kala Moor and uncover the secrets of The Demon’s Forge.
The game promises “unforgettable cooperative action”, pitting players against waves of enemies while playing as either E’lara or Caddoc, who specialize in ranged and close combat, respectively. E’lara and Caddoc can work well cooperatively, who attacks – when combined -can pull of “gruesome kill moves.”
Hunted: The Demon’s Forge currently has a TBA release date for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Check out the first screens at the gallery.
